Tortie Ragdolls

Tortie Ragdolls are calico in color. Some get the words “tortie” and “torbie” confused. However, the name “torbie” derives from a tortie (calico like coloring) that has a lynx gene (tabby stripes), but the cat may still be referred to as a tortie, when technically it is a torbie.

Ragdoll Fanciers Worldwide provides a good example of the different patterns and colors. Please check out the Ragdoll Fanciers Worldwide Website as well. Find photos of Tortie Ragdolls below.

Mia and Mya – they are sisters. They are seal point mitted torties and Mia has the full mask and Mya has the half mask. They are a year and a half old. My girlfriend Tina and I live with them in Cape Coral Florida.

Hi, I’m Jenny Dean, creator of Floppycats! Ever since my Aunt got the first Ragdoll cat in our family, I have loved the breed. Inspired by my childhood Ragdoll cat, Rags, I created Floppycats to connect, share and inspire other Ragdoll cat lovers around the world,

Hi, Kathy! Mats can be very painful as they pull at the kitty’s skin. If left, a skin infection can develop, so it is important to get it out. If the mat is close to the skin, you will have to shave it off or get a groomer to do it. If it can be worked away from the skin, you can carefully use a small pair of scissors to cut it out. They only time I work on sorting out a mat, is if it is small and far enough away from the skin so that I can hold it and the pulling doesn’t hurt the Raggy. Hope this helps.

My male Ragdoll occasionally gets an armpit matt. The only painless way out is electric Grooming sheers. Buy yourself a kit (about $25), if you have another person it takes 2 seconds to sheer it away. You’ll never know it was there with all their hair! I always have to do it by myself, and this cat hates to be held!!! I tried combs with blades, matt pullers, and the grooming sheers is really the only tool you’ll ever need that works fast and is painless….Never ever use scissors!!!!!!!!!♥

Gently work around the edges pulling the hair straight. The furball will get smaller. If you very, very carefully use the blade of a scissors or something else straight or sharp work through the hairball from near the cat (hand protecting) out, splitting it into one or more knots. It you do this over time, watching tv with your cat in your lap etc, you can work it out without having to cut a bald spot in your cat.

Reinforcing the no scissors comment- I was stupid enough to try it and poor Andy ended up with 5 stitches on his chest and I felt horrible. I didn’t cut him, but the skin pulled away from the matt and split. I agree with the pulling gently with your fingers- if your cat will allow it, you can usually work them out. Otherwise, I let the experts at my vet give them a buzz with shears.

OMG, I lurve me some tortie/torbie Ragdolls!!!! One of my very favorite color patterns. (Actually it’s hard to find a color pattern on a Ragdoll that I’m not crazy about. lol)

But, the tortie/torbie color pattern really reasonates with me as it just is so random and beautiful and every single kitteh seems to have this gorgeous different splotchy thing going on with their adorable faces!

The pics of the kittehs above are SUPER GORGEOUS!!!! Miss Pippa Longstockings (gotta love THAT name!) and Miss Claire are my favorite pics because of those beautiful splotches on their face! Argh! Gah! Beauty and cuteness overload!!! 🙂
